Hello Galactic Survivalists!

We have a small patch ready to help with some issues server owners found with EAH.
Please make sure to update both the Client & Dedicated server asap.
This update is for both Steam & Epic platforms.


Changelog: v1.11.10 B4545 2024-11-05

Fixes:

- Fixed an exception that could occur when trying to join a dedicated server after exiting a single-player session.
- Fix: Epic players with names with spaces truncated
- Fix PDA DevicePower PDA logic (Missing placement decals in RotDF scenario start SV in hangar)

This patch addresses an issue where some Epic players could not use EAH chat commands or access certain mod features.

Important note for mod developers: Previously, Epic player .ply IDs could occasionally exceed the Long data type's maximum range (9,223,372,036,854,775,807), requiring an Unsigned Long (18,446,744,073,709,551,615), referred to as “20 digits.” When a player had a 20-digit .ply file, EAH could not detect or process it, as EAH only supports Long IDs.

With this patch, Epic IDs will be recalculated to max. 19 digits at game startup (Client) or server startup (Server). This means that any 20-digit .ply files (and respective folders) will be automatically renamed to the new ID, retaining their content.

For server admins and mod developers: If your mod or server setup references specific 20-digit IDs (e.g., in adminconfig.yaml), you’ll need to update those entries with the new ID after the patch to ensure that players retain their existing bans, mutes, or permissions.

Important: Steam users should update their dedicated server & Client as soon as the update appears for you in Steam Library > Downloads

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

We are aware of issues with launching the game for the first time due to the Epic "User Agreement" UI, which requires you to select "Accept." PC stats overlays like MSI Afterburner (RivaTuner) or Nvidia Crossplay can prevent this UI from loading.

Please disable any PC stats overlays and try launching the game again. These overlays can also block the Epic in-game social overlays, so disable them before launching if you wish to use those features.

Changelog: v1.11.9 B4536 2024-10-08

Changes:
- Added preparations for the games release to the Epic game store on Thursdays Oct 10:
- The game will be updated synchronously on both platforms

Steam & Epic Account linking:
• With the addition of our game on the Epic Store, we've introduced an in-game option in the server browser to link your Steam account to your Epic account for crossplay between Steam and Epic friends in Co-op/MP. Follow the pop-ups that appear when you open the server browser.
• If you do not wish to use this Account Linking option, simply select "No" when prompted.
• The “Link Account” button will appear from then on in your server browser should you change your mind in future.
• Note for Epic players: If you have a PC stats overlay enabled (such as MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner), it may prevent the User Agreement GUI from loading when the client starts for the first time, causing a loading screen loop. This also affects the GUI for linking Steam and Epic accounts & the Epic in-game social UI (shift+F3) from loading. Epic Store players should disable any overlays and restart the game to agree to the User Agreement.

Crossplay:
• Epic players will be able to join any steam dedicated server that is publicly visible
• Crossplay is available between Steam and Epic versions for Co-op mode once Steam and Epic accounts are linked.
• Epic players can invite their Steam friends to join their Co-op sessions, and Steam players can do the same with their Epic friends. Only players added to your friends list can see and join any Co-op games from the server browser's "Friends" tab. When a friend on either platform is hosting a Co-op session & you want to play together, check the server browser's "Friends" tab to find the Co-op server in the list.

Custom Content Sharing:
• Where is the “Workshop” content for other platforms ? We are exploring options for this topic for an alternative to the Steam workshop that will work cross platform between Steam & Epic for players to share any custom made content (Blueprints, Custom Scenarios etc like we already do on the Steam workshop). When this is up & running we will make an announcement to say when it is going to be released &...

When: from 10th of October 2024

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

This is a small guide that aims to provide steps on how to install blueprints and custom scenarios in Empyrion while using the Epic Store.

Blueprints can be download from our Official Discord (https://discord.gg/empyrion)
We have several channels where players can attach blueprints
Code:
- bp_sharing_vanilla                 Blueprints for the Vanilla Game
- bp_sharing_dlc                                      Blueprints for the DLC (the Dark Faction)
- bp_sharing_scenario                            Blueprints for Custom Scenarios
If a particular blueprint you want isnt on our discord you can ping the creator on the channel and ask if he can create a post in one of the channels!

Custom Scenarios are too large to be shared on Discord.
You can ask the scenario creator to upload it to https://www.nexusmods.com/empyriongalacticsurvival/ and download it from there!


Where to place them?
Right click in the library in the Epic Store on Empyrion. Select Manage
After the following screen open:

Press the red outlined button. This will open where Empyrion is installed.
../Content/Scenarios/ is where you place custom scenarios
../Saves/Blueprints/<ID>/ is where you place the blueprint files

For the game to read them, the game needs to be rebooted

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we want to thank you very much for your feedback that reached us during the Experimental Phase of Update 1.11.8 through our various feedback channels.

As you may have already experienced in the testing phase or at least seen in the blogs, in addition to numerous bug fixes and the completion of the Dark Faction Scenario Story Campaign, the new "Freeze & Board" gameplay for the Dark Faction DLC expansion is another central focus of this update.

In brief: The Dark Faction has gained the ability to disable your capital and small vessels as well as hover vessels. If you are in a disabled capital vessel, a boarding crew will be teleported over to you. If you don't take them out, they can cause some serious damage to the interior of your ship!

How exactly this works is explained in the following video:

You can also find all the details in the corresponding feedback thread here:
https://empyriononline.com/threads/...on-dlc-disruptor-translocator-turrets.102503/

With the current update, you also get the revamped and expanded Dark Faction Story Campaign - fully playable in both solo and co-op modes, including two possible story endings!

In addition to this, the current update includes, among other things, a small hitpoint balancing, a new Pentaxid Tank model, and over 470 new and updated icons in the areas of Building Blocks, Wings, Windows, Railings, Farming, Plants, Ingots, Components, Medical, Food, Cooking, Trading & more.

As always, all the contents of the update can be found in detail below in the comprehensive changelog.

Please use the feedback forum for your feedback:

Please use the bug report forum for bug and error reports:

We hope you have fun with the update as always and look forward to your feedback!
